Chords With Lyrics
------------------
DDmaj9GADDmaj9GADDmaj7GA
The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
DDmaj7GF#m
and planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich
Bm x 2 Asus4A
and I'm not my body or what I choose to do with it
DDmaj7GA
Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby
DDmaj7GF#m
We're just recreation for all those doctors and those lawyers
Bm x 2
there's no relief for their heavy hearts
Asus4A
cause they'll be losing bodies tonight
DDmaj9GADDmaj7GADDEmAF#mBm
And Rob says maybe love won't let you down
EmAF#mBm
all of your failures are training grounds
EmF#mGABmA/C#A7
and just as your back's turned you'll be surprised he says
A
as your solitude subsides
DDmaj7GADDmaj7
We could be daytime drunks if we wanted,
GA
we'd never get anything done that way baby
DDmaj7GF#m
And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives
Bm x 2
and I'm not my story or perspective
Asus4A
or the lies I'll tell you every time
DD7EmAF#mBm
And Rob says you love, love, love and then you die
EmF#mGABmA/C#A7A
I've watched him while sleeping and seen him cry with closed eyes
DDmaj7GADDmaj7GADDmaj7GA
And you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joy
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/rilo_kiley/absence_of_god_tab.html ]DDmaj7GA
but I just keep on getting up again
DDmaj7GADDmaj7GF#mBmBmAsus4AF#mBm
Teach you how to swim
F#mBm
you turn the bad in me into good again
EmF#mGABmA/C#A7ADD7EmAF#mBm
And I say there's trouble when everything is fine
EmAF#mBm
the need to destroy things creeps up on me every time
EmF#mGABmA/C#A7
and just as love's silhouette appears
ADD7
I close my eyes and disappear with you tonight
F#mBm
and something's got to change
F#mBm
cause our love's the slowest moving train
EmF#mGABmA/C#A7AD
